Help! Yellow watchman goby has a broken mouth

[e24242424]

Any advice is appreciated. I already turn the UV on and will try to treat it with Melafix.

Hope he gets better. Such a beautiful goby!

I don't think so. Make sure you get Melafix for Marine.

Hello ptran. I just bough Melafix marine and Pimafix. I read online. Some people say it is reef safe. Others say their fish and inverts die because of it. I am very confused. Did you use Melafix before?

Or anybody has experience with such two treatment liquid?

Thanks for any input.

I don't have invert in my tank so don't know for sure. Is there a quarantine tank you can use to treat him?

I just tried. Clown fishes seem to be nervous at first, then better. We can see what comes out later on. I am a beginner, do not have a quarantine tank. And the goby and pistol shrimp live in the cave, seldom come out. It is impossible to catch.

Keep us posted. I hope it works out for you.

It is the third day using Melafix and Pimafix. Everything seems to be fine for now.

Have you seen any improvement on the wound/infection?

Not yet. It seems to be the same. I will keep an eye on it continuously.

It seems that Melafix and Pimafix does not work. The wound seems to be a little larger.

stop using it.
I my self have never liked using it.
in the salt water some times it is best just to keep the water right. salt water is a great healer.
